Dock diving, “is a sport in which dogs are asked to run the length of a dock and leap as far out into the water as possible to compete for height or distance. They’re motivated to jump with a toy, which is thrown just out of reach in order to help them keep their momentum and get the best launch angle possible.”

“It’s low-impact it’s because it’s involving water. Some dogs just like to swim and swim but we all have a good time, it’s friendly and it’s safe for the dogs. If you wanna use a life jacket you can, they can jump after whatever works best for them”

Southern Kingdom Diving Dogs is one of the few North America Diving Dogs sanctioned facilities in the state.
